Rump steak prices went up, but I still bought it because I was craving it. I also found cauliflower and bought it since I haven’t had it in a while. Also, it is time to bring out the air fryer to do the work. Got some sliced mushrooms that doesn’t looks fresh, will make it into thick puree as sauce. Adding red medley cherry tomatoes with wrinkles and black olives slices for some colours and to finish off.
Google: “Rump steak comes from the backside of the cow, which is a hardworking part. It is known for its significant marbling, making it flavorful but slightly chewier than Sirloin or Rib-eye Steak. Due to its strong taste, rump steak pairs well with milder sides or sauces.”
“Cauliflower is a nutritious, low-calorie cruciferous vegetable that serves as a healthy, low-carb alternative to grains and potatoes. It is high in fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants, supporting heart health, digestion, and immune function. Additionally, it contains compounds like sulforaphane that reduce inflammation and protect against heart disease, as well as choline, which is essential for brain development.”
“A medley of cherry tomatoes features a colourful mix of varieties that provide a sweet, nutritious blend of flavours and textures. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins (A, C, K), and fiber, they enhance eye, heart, skin, and immune health while combating oxidative stress and chronic diseases. They also support cardiovascular health, maintain healthy vision, and are low in calories, making them ideal for those watching their diet.”
Glad that my dinner is colourful, creative, and delicious. Let’s cook!!!
